.scr file modifications

Above those lines, do you have a line that starts
$DRAW GROUP

If so, increase the 3rd number by one (that will increase the box height).

No I do not

If I have no $DRAW GROUP should I put one in or is there another way to do it?   I think the problem is that I have 2 output fields on the first line.  I'm not sure if the ^ works with those being there.  I know it works OK if it is just text though.

Have you tried:
| Process Level:[ ] ; ;
       |(ALL if left blank)

in other words, move the pipe ..

I moved the pipe and the program does compile.  However, I still have the screen issue.  I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean.  Thanks for helping!

I know this probably sounds silly, but did you try adding a blank line under:
|(ALL if left blank)
$END-SCR ...
so that
|(ALL if left blank)

$END-SCR ...

Believe me NOTHING is silly.  If you have an inkling about something, I'm willing to try it.  Yes, I do have a blank line under it.

This is how that section of code looks now.....

Hi Brian - just another shot-in-the-dark. Have you tried removing the parentheses around your text- even temporarily - to see if they are causing an issue?

Also, what's with the square bracket to the right of your "(ALL if left blank)" text. I'm surprised it even compiles with that there, since there isn't a matching left bracket. It appears to be in column 75, which is odd in itself.

Would you be willing to attach your whole .scr?

Kelly

Of course this all becomes a moot point in portal. You will not see these lines then.

Sorry, I could not load the file so I just copied and pasted the text.  I hope that will suffice.  The reason the bracket is there is because that is how I saw it in the manual.

$END-SCR ZR201 R

Change to this

$END-SCR ZR201 R

Here's what I got when I tried that:

One thing you could do is to move the Process Level parameter up above the Date Range Parameter. This would permit you to add your comment under the Process Level value. Normally in Lawson, when a field is left blank it is understood that "all" would be selected.

Here is the solution I think you are looking for.....   In your .scr begin your comment with a single quote and end it with a right bracket....   so your .scr would look as such;

            Process Level:[     ]    ;                              ;]
                                                'ALL if left blank]

you would then need to account for this field in the $TRANS section as follows...

   3    TO-TR-DATE            F     08          SB
   3    COMMENT                A     17          SB
$END-TRANS JH500    R

In this case the length of 17 is the space it takes for your actual comment; All if left blank

Thank you very much jaherb!  The option of adding a single quote and ending with a right bracket worked perfectly.  Thanks to everyone for helping.  I really appreciate it!

  Super.....
